A gas-phase polymerization reactor having interconnected polymerization zones comprising:—a riser through which the polymer particles flow upwards under fast fluidization conditions or transport conditions—a dowcomer through which the polymer particles flow downward in a densified form under the action of gravity, the bottom of said downcomer being connected to the lower region of said riser by means of a transport section, said transport section being designed as a bend descending from the downcomer to the riser. |
